My 2016 PL Clark & Gruber 1/4 oz 24k Colorado Gold arrived today in a well packed box.
My first DC Colorado 24k gold piece.
I needed this piece to complete my little set of MMOH 2016 issues as I thought it was related. I hope its the same die.
Daniel, is this 2016 22mm PL Gold Obverse Die same as you used on your 2016 PL MMOH overstrikes / counterstrikes ?
Lindy
The obverse die used for the 2016 Moonlight Mint Open House tokens was the exact same obverse die used on the 1/4-oz gold 2016 Clark Gruber issues.
Since we're talking 09o Morgan's. I have a high grade die pair 2 PL in anacs 69 but my fav is this die pair 1 "bulk handled." Only 10 were made which is cool but it's one of my favorites due to the most extreme ghosting I've ever seen on one of his overstrikes... and it's a morgan!
I think it's a 1921-s host coin but can't quite tell
I received my 1917 high relief and 2 ounce medal. The obverse is nice but not overly impressive, both my pieces have faint annoying spiral marks. The reverse though!!! Wowzers is all I can say, it's completely off the charts! The detail and crispness is far beyond anything I've seen on a coin. I just love the 2 ouncer! Looks like I need to clean out the sofa cushions so I can buy a few more. Nice job Dan!
One thing Dan has mentioned is that luster improves as the dies are used and aged. I ordered a 1917 when they first came out which had some luster and I thought was beautiful. I just received my 2nd 1917 which has an amazing amount of luster. I'm simply blown away by how gorgeous it looks! I may have to get another one further down the line to do another comparison!
Dan's 1917 Broken Sword Peace Dollar is one that I can whole heartedly recommend to everyone.

Thanks for the link to his blog pages. Didn't know about these. Changed the last number and another topic page is revealed. Page 19 is the last right now. What will be next? Learning thanks to Dan and the forum.
Looks like another one of Dan's 1916 Walking Liberty Centennial overstrikes on a 2016 Silver Eagle is up on eBay this AM at $1250 (or best offer). Perhaps whoever snagged the one at $750 did not do too bad. By the way, this one does not appear to be the same example as the other that previously sold.
Hey Dan ~ how about doing a 1917 Broken Sword Peace Dollar overstrike on a 2017 Silver Eagle. I would sure buy one of those !

Technically the ASE/WLH is a counterstamp more so than an overstrike due to the smaller size and anniversary ring abound the WLH dies. If he did an overstrike of the broken sword on an ASE the sizes are the same and he doesn't release fantasy date full overstrikes on non-similar host coins if he does a few for fun. I could see a batch of the 999 "failure" broken sword design overstruck on ASE's being technically kosher though.
This was Dan's posting for them if anyone missed missed it.......
1916 Walking Liberty Centennial, Struck on US Silver Eagle, Only 13 produced
Your Price: SOLD OUT
Out of stock
Item Number: SB_2016_50_C
Email this page to a friend
Reeded edge, brilliant satin finish. Nominal diameter is 42mm, but can vary slightly. Walking Liberty design. One troy oz 999 silver. Most show some amount of strike doubling. Do not use as legal tender.
Central design is an exact-size replication of the US coin which originally debuted in 1916.
Housed in a non-PVC "flip" holder with certificate.
NOTE: These were produced in late 2016, but were not offered prior to February 2017. Only 13 produced and no more will be made.
They do appear rather impressive and perhaps, someday, I will get to see one 'in hand'.
CascadeChris makes an excellent point about the .999 WW1 "Failure" hard times token. I'm hopeful that Dan will find something appropriate to either overstrike or counterstamp with the 1917 "Broken Sword" design. It would undoubtedly be HUGE.

A 5oz silver ATB coin is big enough to counterstamp.
But, is it appropriate? I don't see a tie-in with any ATB subject -- except maybe the year of 2017 coins.

Yes, and bidding already seems to be moving right along....
By the way, this is the new design for the 2017 Greater Jacksonville (Florida) Coin Club 70th Anniversary Medal from Dan.
I'm sure whoever got #13 was quite happy there were more than 12. Although I did not see the initial offering, I believe the issue price was for them was $200.

Correct. And there were a bunch of naysayers at the $200 pricetag but we Carr collectors knew better. It sure was a split second decision offering though
It's getting damn hard not to sell my WLH/ASE. And if the one up now goes for over $1k it's only gonna get harder. It's at anacs now. I wonder what a 70 would go for

Part of the fun and intrigue with Moonlight Mint offerings is the strong probability of a return on investment whether one sells or just holds and knows that if they do decide to sell they can make a nice ROI. An item that one can quintuple their money on, no matter how awesome or limited, is hard to pass up selling for some. We didn't know exactly how well these would do when we bought them. I'm not saying that I will sell mine and I have a few pieces that will never leave my hands for various reasons until I'm old and grey or I pass them down.
However, to be shocked that some of us would sell this limited piece for such a tidy profit is kinda crazy imo. I can fully understand and appreciate why those who are selling are doing so. And you sell Carr items too. Heck, I bought a an awesome open house piece from you. So I'm not sure where this is coming from unless I'm mis-understanding what you're getting at.

I would respond with many opinions, however what I have to say shouldn't be in the public review. I totally respect you and your love of D.C. , but I think some things I have to say should be private . Please pm if you wish to continue this conversation .
Come on, you going to leave us hanging? Explain please. Some of us love DC stuff, some of us don't. That's what's great about this hobby. Buy what you like or don't. It's as simple as that.
I really hate that it has gotten to a mini-segment of flippers now. I never did buy to resell, and have not as I just wanted to collect them for myself as they came out. I don't try to get everything but I do get the pieces I like; a shame about the overstruck silver eagles, but it happens. Won't try to get that one or any further of that genre.
The overstruck coins I like.
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

That is correct.
The obverse die used for the 2016 Moonlight Mint Open House tokens was the exact same obverse die used on the 1/4-oz gold 2016 Clark Gruber issues.
Thank you 1940coupe and Dan! I knew I came to the right place.
The satin versions show the same differences in the denticles and date (both labeled die pair 2 by ANACS).
I'm glad I have the right coins (one each of the four 1909-O Morgan versions). I'll contact ANACS about the labels.
I have some of these 1909 Proofs ! I like Die 2 Pl best only 57 high grade made !
Since we're talking 09o Morgan's. I have a high grade die pair 2 PL in anacs 69 but my fav is this die pair 1 "bulk handled." Only 10 were made which is cool but it's one of my favorites due to the most extreme ghosting I've ever seen on one of his overstrikes... and it's a morgan!
I think it's a 1921-s host coin but can't quite tell
Time for a new avatar!
ANACS labels are more trustworthy than the labels from the Moonlight Mint?
That's an interesting theory.
Are you referring to my post?
If so: I said it was possible. I also noted that I bought the 1909-Os off Ebay, so the labels could have been accidentally swapped later.
I wanted to get the expert's opinions before I approached ANACS.
For long-term storage of the 2oz token, I found this Air-tite:
Inside depth (5.49mm) is fine. But the black ring is slightly too big. So I inserted a tiny wedge of that black stuff, to keep it snug & rattle-free.
The Air-tite is available from many sources, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NRBD7PY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How much do Airtights weigh? Too many of these and the added bulk would be tough for dealers to travel to coin shows with.

I like it.
I like it but it's gone past my wife's OK limit. Always remember rule #1: Happy Wife, Happy Life
It that our bullsitter?
What do you speculate the closing price will be? My guess: over 1K is the value. May close at $800.00
Wish I would have looked on moonlight that day! Damn. I want it, but will go way out of my price range for this!
$650.00 or so is my guess.
Since the previous one listed on eBay went for $750, I would guess close to that, if not more.
What was the initial price of the over stamped ASE?
Why 13 minted and not 12? 12 is a friendlier number for collectors.
I'm sure whoever got #13 was quite happy there were more than 12. Although I did not see the initial offering, I believe the issue price was for them was $200.
Correct. And there were a bunch of naysayers at the $200 pricetag but we Carr collectors knew better. It sure was a split second decision offering though

Actually, 13 is how may 2016 Silver Eagles I had in-hand at the time.
